When the ParkSense Active Park Assist system is enabled,
the messages “Active ParkSense Searching - Press OK To
Switch To Perpendicular Park” or “Active ParkSense
Searching - Press OK to Switch to Parallel Park” will appear
in the instrument cluster display. Push the OK button on
the left side of the steering wheel to change your parking
space setting. You can switch between perpendicular and
parallel parking maneuvers.
Press OK to Switch to Perpendicular Park
Press OK to Switch to Parallel Park
NOTE:

When searching for a parking space, use the turn
signal indicator to select which side of the vehicle you
want to perform the parking maneuver. The ParkSense
Active Park Assist system will automatically search for
a parking space on the passenger's side of the vehicle
if the turn signal is not activated.

The driver needs to make sure that the selected
parking space for the maneuver remains free and clear
of any obstructions (e.g. pedestrians, bicycles, etc.).

The driver is responsible to ensure that the selected
parking space is suitable for the maneuver and
free/clear of anything that may be overhanging or
protruding into the parking space (e.g., ladders, tail -
gates, etc. from surrounding objects/vehicles).

When searching for a parking space, the driver should
drive as parallel or perpendicular (depending on the
type of maneuver) to other vehicles as possible.

The feature will only indicate the last detected parking
space (example: if passing multiple available parking
spaces, the system will only indicate the last detected
parking space for the maneuver). A parking space is
considered invalid after the vehicle is 32 ft (10 m) or
more away from it.
When an available parking space has been found, and the
vehicle is not in position, you will be instructed to move
forward to position the vehicle for a perpendicular or
parallel parking sequence (depending on the type of
maneuver being performed).
Space Found — Keep Moving Forward
Once the vehicle is in position, you will be instructed to
stop the vehicle’s movement and remove your hands from
the steering wheel. When the vehicle comes to a standstill
(your hands still removed from the steering wheel), you will
be instructed to place the gear selector into the REVERSE
position.
